Answer:

The width of the patio is 11.29 feet while the length of the patio is 13.29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of the patio can be calculated by multiplying the length by the breadth of the patio

Thus we have ;

(x + 7)(x + 9) = 150

x^2 + 7x + 9x + 63 = 150

x^2 + 16x + 63 = 150

x^2 + 16x + 63 -150 = 0

x^2 + 16x -87 = 0

we can use the quadratic formula to solve this completely

x = {-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)}/2a

where a = 1, b = 16 and c = -87

Plugging the values we have

x = {-16 ± √(16^2 - 4(1)(-87)}/2

x = {-16 ± √(256+ 348)}/2

x = {-16 ± √(604}/2

x = (-16 + 24.58)/2 or (-16-24.58)/2

x = 4.29 or -20.29

Choosing x = -20.29 will make our dimensions negative, so we ignore it and make do with the positive value only

Thus our dimensions are 4.29 + 7 and 4.29 + 9

This is equal to 11.29 feet and 13.29 feet respectively

Ants have 6 legs. Katie and Lukas write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, and the n
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I agree with Katie because number is legs is directly proportional to the number of ants.

1 ant has 6 legs.

So, 2 ants have 6 *2 = 12

3 ants have 6*3 = 18
